MELAKA: Melaka PKR has urged all parties to not make hasty decisions that could jeopardise administrative stability, public welfare and the state's development.
In a statement on Tuesday (July 14), Melaka PKR also urged that the issue concerning the State Constitution (Melaka) (Amendment) Enactment 2026 regarding the appointment of nominated assemblymen be resolved in the spirit of consensus and negotiation to ensure the continued stability of the state administration.
Acting Melaka PKR chairman Adam Adli Abdul Halim (pic) said the party took note of the stance of five Pakatan Harapan assemblymen regarding the enactment, as well as their decision to withdraw from the state government.
Adam Adli, who is also Deputy Higher Education Minister, said that Melaka PKR continues to hold the principle that political and administrative stability is crucial to guaranteeing state progress, economic growth and the people's well-being.
"At the same time, the proposal for nominated assemblymen must be carefully evaluated based on the principles of accountability, integrity and democratic spirit," he said in a statement here on Tuesday (July 14) night.
Adam Adli said Melaka PKR also upholds the stance of Prime Minister and Pakatan chairman Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim that any difference of opinion must be resolved through the spirit of consensus, prudent negotiation and prioritising the interests of the people.
He said that while the party respects the stance expressed by the five Pakatan assemblymen, the decision to withdraw from the state government was not a mutually agreed decision at the Melaka Pakatan leadership level.
"The space for discussion must remain open so that every decision can be reached maturely, responsibly and for the benefit of the people of Melaka," he said.
Anwar had requested Melaka DAP to defer its decision to withdraw from the state government administration in order to focus on development and the people's welfare.
This follows Melaka DAP's announcement that it was withdrawing from the state government with immediate effect after the Melaka State Assembly passed an amendment to the state constitution to allow the appointment of nominated assemblymen. – Bernama
